Tamara Hache

Tamara Hache is an educator and literature scholar from Argentina based in New York City. She is currently a PhD candidate and Teaching Fellow at Columbia University. Under the supervision of Ronald Briggs, Tamara’s research focuses on the spatial, visual, and graphic inflections of war infrastructures and infrastructural

imaginations in the context of 19th century print culture of Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. Within this framework, her research focuses on the intersections between war, the press, and infrastructure to understand how these instances of military deployment produce categories, experiences, and discourses that have shaped cultural production and insistently reappear in our contemporary times.

Before coming to Columbia, Tamara earned a BA in Literature from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she specialized in literary theory and 19th century Argentine literature. She has participated in many institutionally funded research groups focusing on visual culture, aesthetics, and material culture in modern Latin America. She has extensive experience with archival work and special collections in the Biblioteca Nacional Mariano Moreno in Argentina and has collaborated with the Institute of Hispanic American Literature at the University of Buenos Aires as a research assistant.

Tamara also has extensive teaching experience both at high school and college levels. At Columbia, she has taught language classes, designed and led content courses both on specific topics of Latin American literature and Latin American literature survey classes, and served as a Core Preceptor for Literature Humanities. As an educator, she is committed to inclusivity and anti-racist and decolonial pedagogies. She has worked as a fellow for the Center for Teaching and Learning and led pedagogy seminar series both at a local and national level, mentoring peers and faculty.
